I gotta give props to J.Cole for giving a battler rapper a shot while he's in his prime.
The majority of the work that battlers have done with industry rappers is when these dudes are already past their prime.

Clearly.
Will 2024 be the worst year of battle rap?
We are currently in April, approaching mid year, and there hasn’t really been anything memorable.
You can argue the best content is coming from a retired/diabetic RBE league.

Battle Rap as we know it is cooked until Surf comes home. Lux vs Nitty will be good whenever it happens but that battle alone can't bring Battle Rap back.

Pretty much for the most part. It's quite a few obvious names that need to return to URL for the culture to revive itself. With RBE out the door, Lux vs Nitty probably the only battle we are going to get all year, that's big for the culture.

Ehh, why does he need battlerap culture to pat him on the back for it? If his friends/family proud of him for it, why he whining?
Cause like he said, he invested a lot of time and energy to it. He's just being emotionally honest. Doesn't mean he feels entitled to praise.
Consequences of being a lyrical, miracle supertroll I suppose

You are probably kidding, but this battle should've happened.Cass vs Freeway can restore the feeling
At this point battle rap badly needs an influx of talented new battle rappers and some established industry rappers.
A lot of the Top Tiers are out of matches, having people like Freeway, Crooked I, Cassidy, etc. open up new matchups.
